Lu Xinyi didn’t know when she last felt this relaxed. With her training and cla.s.ses ongoing, she had a hard time balancing her time at school and at home. With Xia Yuhan managing the Flair Apparel for her, she was glad that she hadn’t lost too much time to spend with her family.
Seeing that it was the last day she would have free time, she wanted to enjoy the festival to the fullest. Thinking about it the last festival she went to was when she and Shen Yi went to check Grace Palace.
“Well, it’s nice to relax once in a while,” she mused, looking at her reflection in the mirror. They decided to drop by Oriental Bliss so she could put on fresher clothes. She had changed from Oriental Bliss’ uniform into a white floral summer dress that reached past her knees, with a sash tied around her waist. The material fitted her perfectly.
After changing her work shoes into flat sandals, she called after Shen Zichen who was also changing his clothes in the bathroom.
“Sweetheart, are you ready? Daddy is waiting for us downstairs.”
The boy came out of the bathroom, frustrated that he couldn’t b.u.t.ton up his own s.h.i.+rt properly. His daddy had taught him days ago how to do it on his own, but Shen Zichen was having a hard time doing it.
Somewhat excited with her date with her husband and son, Lu Xinyi rushed towards the boy and suppressed her laughter upon seeing him. She knelt down and undone the b.u.t.tons of his s.h.i.+rt.
“You should start here if you aren’t sure where to begin.” She began to b.u.t.ton his s.h.i.+rt from the second b.u.t.ton from the top downward. “It’s alright if you make a mistake like this; even Mommy had a hard time dressing up when I was younger.”
Once done, the two rushed down to meet Shen Yi downstairs. He was on a phone call when they arrived.
After bidding goodbye to her brother and the Ji family, they stepped outside and took a stroll toward the festival. Shen Zichen held Lu Xinyi’s hand tightly, afraid that he would be parted from her because of the crowd.
“By the way, how did you manage to convince Xue to take Yuyan home with him?” Lu Xinyi asked her husband curiously. She knew that her brother-in-law wouldn’t look after the twins unless he would gain something from it.
“Hmm… I helped him convince your brother to take the remaining steamed buns you made during the compet.i.tion. The Ji family willingly gave all the buns to him.” Shen Yi responded truthfully. “But not before arguing with Huang Shenghao who also fought for his share.”
Lu Xinyi snickered upon hearing it. Ah, that sounded very much like Shen Xue and Huang Shenghao.
The sky was dark, but the street was buzzing with tourists. Lu Xinyi felt a sense of peace of happiness walking alongside her husband and Zichen. It was a pity that Little Yuyan wasn’t able to join them tonight.
Having her husband walking with her, they received a lot of attention from the crowd, especially from women. However, his eyes were solely set on her; and that was enough to leave a hint of blush on her cheeks.
“Xinxin, your face is red. What are you thinking about, huh?” Shen Yi whispered to her, his eyes full of mischief as he ran his fingers on her arm. Thankfully, Shen Zichen was preoccupied and hadn’t noticed. The boy was too busy checking out the stalls for sweet treats and toys he could bring home for his twin sister.
“N-nothing! You’re just imagining things!” Lu Xinyi harrumphed and refused to meet his eyes.
That didn’t stop Shen Yi from stealing kisses from her though whenever their son wasn’t looking. It only made Lu Xinyi’s face flushed red from his teasing.
“You can’t just go kissing me like that in public!” She complained before covering her face with both hands. Ah, what would people think of it? This d.a.m.n husband of hers didn’t show some decency!
